Daily Thoughts
Look! Here is the Bridegroom! (Matthew 25:6)
_________________________________________________________________________
Matthew 25:5-9, "As the bridegroom was delayed, all of them became drowsy and slept. But at midnight there was a shout, ' Look! Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.' Then all those bridesmaids got up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish said to the wise , 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' 'No! There will not be enough for you and for us; you had better go to the dealers and buy some for yourselves." The Foolish bridesmaids were not ready for the delay of the bridegroom. They were not prepared for the unexpected.
How about us? Are we prepared or to deal with the unexpected turns and twists of life? Early in my life, I didn't expect that I would be a minister. I didn't spend time in college courses for Biblical Degrees. There have been many unexpected twists and turns and crisis in my life and God has always used these to move me to where He wanted me. Life certainly has not gone as I would have predicted. Many of you can tell similar stories, and many of you can share some of you can share some very painful unexpected experiences.
Jesus Christ will help us deal with the unexpected if we allow him to walk with us everyday of our lives.
